Doʻstobod (), known as Soldatsky until 1991, is a city in Tashkent Region, Uzbekistan. It is the capital of Quyichirchiq District. Its population was 13,600 in 2000, and 16,200 in 2016.
== Etymology == The name Doʻstobod () is of Iranian origin and consists of two elements: дўст and -обод/-абад. Дўст () is a word meaning "friend," "close person," or "comrade," while -обод () is a common toponymic affix in Iranian-speaking regions, meaning "inhabited place," "populated area," or "flourishing settlement." Thus, the toponym Doʻstobod can be interpreted as "settlement of friends" or "city of friendship." Many places in Central Asia also feature names with the suffix -абад, such as Ashgabat, Islamabad, or Türkmenabat.
